why are Friday? or even a saturday?

Can I ask why on earth does UK seem to be screwed up with it comes to broadcasting Programmes?

For some Stupid reason main broadcaster are putting 18 – 30 type programmes in the slot – Friday and Saturday night when there are all going out

Where as in the US there put such programmes on a Thursday I think,

Ch4 are bad for this But I think ITV has start to look at this: There keep putting murder dramas on the Friday nights

Also I sure said this before there never seem to be any comedy on a Tuesday

Taxi please......

Well i guess it all comes down to what the broadcaster here thinks best suits it. I think most of the main broadcasters have selected time slots for comedy, drama ect.

Alexia - I'll happily call you a taxi, no ill go one better and get you a gun.

All broadcasters aim, after extensive research, to meet the demographic that has the highest viewing percentage for that time period.

At one time Saturday evening (6-11pm) was seen as a prime-time for any popular programme all year, but this is now seasonally driven, and has to be planned in the face of ever-increasing competition from the other broadcasters.

The growth of PVRs - through Sky+, V+ and the various Freeview compitable models make such scheduling something of the past really and this fragmentation of the schedule will continue.

What has electroconvulsive therapy got to do with anything?

Oh its etc isint it?, i always get it the wrong way around.

I have done this myself loads of times, but why do people go into threads, and not contribute to the opening argument, i do it a lot of the time - as do a lot of other people - why do we do that?
